Impact Wrestling President and Anthem Sports and Entertainment’s Ed Nordholm recently spoke with Newsweek on the current state of Impact, the battle against Matt Hardy for the “Broken Universe” rights and more. Below are some interview highlights.
On parting ways with Jeff Jarrett:
“[Jarrett] was a great assistance to me. Unfortunately, as we got into the summer, I think the stress of trying to [overhaul Impact]clearly was starting to have some impacts on him and his issues to deal with the situation,” Nordholm tells Newsweek. “We had to part ways. I regret that it turned out that way, but I’m grateful for everything he did for me.”

On his battle with Matt Hardy over the “Broken Universe” rights and what mistake he made during the ordeal:
“Attacking hispanic women who are protecting their men,” he cites as one thing he’d do differently. Nordholm refers to the public back-and-forth between Impact and the Hardys, namely Matt Hardy’s wife, Reby Hardy. “As a fresh person into the wrestling world, a guy from the corporate environment where we don’t play in the social media world, we clearly took on a shitstorm—and I got my head handed to me.”
